For example, there is a difference between "I will go if I had enough money," and, "I would go if I had enough money." The difference between "will" and "would" is that "will" means something definitely happens in the future, and "would" means it may or may not happen.

You use the word "would" in condicional (sentences with if) sentences when you try to express what you would do if you could (if you were able). Compare: should have done - would have done - could have done
